D. D., gave notice of the annual pilgrimage
Of his Congregation, which this year will
be to Maftha's Vineyard, Mass. 1t will
begin July fand end July; q. DIR. Talmages
will preach at Martha's Vineyard on. July 8,
and deliver an Grafton on the Fourth. The
congregational singing at the Tabernacle is led
by cornet and organ. A hoy choir chants
twice during the service. The'hymn sung by
the congregation this morning begins; Y,..s

will cry it aloud to the Winds and tile woods.

was willing to- listen. There is, "a tender
pathos, and at the same time most admira-
